In a scene straight out of an action movie, an unnamed man scaled a towering mast on Katampe Hill in Abuja on Monday, ready to risk it all for the future of Nigeria. His bold move wasn’t just for thrills; he left a passionate note at the base, calling for some serious changes.
Perched high above the city, our daring protester made a five-point list of demands aimed at solving the country’s most pressing issues. Here’s what he had to say:
1. **Bring Back Fuel Subsidy**: He’s not alone in feeling the pinch at the pump and wants the government to ease the burden on Nigerians.
2. **Tackle Insecurity**: With a call for a state of emergency in Zamfara, Sokoto, Kebbi, Katsina, Kaduna, Niger, and Borno, he’s urging swift action to wipe out terrorism.
3. **Open Food Borders**: To combat food shortages, he demands the government open borders for food importation, aiming to fill plates across the nation.
4. **Educate the Children**: Addressing the skyrocketing number of out-of-school children, he’s asking for immediate reforms to get kids back into classrooms.
In a final rallying cry, he urged fellow Nigerians to join him in demanding these changes, willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for the cause.
This isn’t the first high-wire act for change in Abuja. Back in September 2018, 28-year-old Nurudeen Lliyasu scaled a telecommunication mast to protest the poor economy, proving that sometimes, extreme actions are taken to shed light on critical issues.
So, next time you look up and see someone scaling a mast, they might just be fighting for a better Nigeria.
